Anyone have experience with KENT guitars/basses? There's a natural/tort p-bass style for sale and I'm wondering if it's worth looking into.

falls into the teisco realm of possibly being alright or the shittiest shit ever I'd bet, but I always give old beaters like that a try.

Some Kents are also Hagstroms. It's just an import brand. TruFax.

And, as long as the price is right, easy to flip for something more to your liking.

Theses Kents had micronite filters made with asbestos.
